This question regarding design of Tension members
In case of double angle back to back tension member with 3 or more bolts. We need to determine the effective area Ae
Ae= u * An
The factor u = 1 - xbar/L OR
u for double angle can be treated as single angle and we can determine it from Table D3.1 AISC.
Some references use the first method and the others use the second method.
Does anyone know what is the correct method for double angle case?
Thanks
